Template:NYTtopic

This is just a template for search engine results which is contrary to WP:EL. —Justin (koavf)TCM 03:30, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Links to a single publication's curated page on a topic. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:02, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – Complies with the second paragraph of WP:EL; WP:ELNO #9 doesn't apply here. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:34, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep –Not search engine results. These are links to topic pages. Search engine queries act on any search terms one cares to entet. Topic pages do not. In the case of the NYT, their limited list of topics can be reviewed at http://www.nytimes.com/pages/topics/ using the alphabar within the subject areas of People, Places, Subjects and Organizations:

"Each topic page collects all the news, reference and archival information, photos, graphics, audio and video files published on topics ranging from A M Castle & Company to Zyuganov, Gennadi A. This treasure trove is available without charge on articles going back to 1981." Flatterworld (talk) 02:35, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
